Undergraduate Foundation Program + Bachelor of Science - Architectural Studies

Undergraduate Foundation Program WSU’s Undergraduate Foundation program provides additional academic and/or English language support and personalized advising to help students smoothly transition to full university study. Students are unconditionally admitted to the university and graduate in the same amount of time as direct-entry students – they are just provided with additional support courses. Bachelor of Science - Architectural Studies The primary mission of the architecture program is to provide a comprehensive education in design, history and theory, technology, and practice. The architecture program is dedicated to the education of future architects who are intellectually aware and who critically understand social, political, and global conditions that influence our built environment. The architecture program in the School of Design and Construction offers a unique architectural education through both our undergraduate and graduate degrees. The program is highly integrated, providing students with disciplinary as well as collaborative skills that are needed to succeed in the profession. Architecture students have many opportunities for off-campus experiences via study tours and foreign studies programs. Studio critiques and portfolio reviews held in Seattle offer additional exposure to industry professionals and the urban environment. The Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies provides a foundation in architecture through intensive studio and technical courses as well as integrated courses and experiences with allied disciplines. The undergraduate degree is designed for those who anticipate continuing their professional educations through accredited graduate programs, or who may choose to work in architecturally related fields.
